(Police are) also encouraged to obtain (the witness') confidence right after the selection without giving any information.

The public has the right to know why the police took the action they did, and that information is available to the public only if search warrant affidavits and arrest warrant affidavits are public.

We are entitled to the information the police collected.

We've gotten information in the last several hours that a passing motorist saw our vehicle, our State Police SUV, with its red lights activated following this white pick up truck off the expressway, indicating to us that our trooper was trying to execute a vehicle and traffic stop with that vehicle.

Effective policing relies on the police having the confidence of the communities they serve, and this consultation gives the public an opportunity to contribute to the values and standards they expect of police officers.
